Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth and Amazon Augmented AI add support for OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication of private workers

Posted on: Jul 27, 2020

Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth is a fully managed data labeling service that makes it easy to build highly accurate training datasets for machine learning. Amazon Augmented AI (Amazon A2I) makes it easy to build the workflows required for human review of ML predictions. Amazon A2I brings human review to all developers, removing the undifferentiated heavy lifting associated with building human review systems or managing large numbers of human reviewers. 

Starting today, you can now create a private workforce using an OpenID Connect (OIDC) Identity Provider (IdP) when you want to authenticate and manage workers using your own identity provider. Once you've created a private workforce using your OpenID Connect (OIDC) Identity Provider (IdP), you can manage your workers using your IdP. For example, you can add, remove, and group workers directly through your IdP. 

To add workers to a SageMaker Ground Truth labeling job or Amazon A2I human review workflow, you create work teams using your IdP groups and assign that work team to the job or human loop. You assign a work team to a job or task by specifying that work team when you create a labeling job or a human review workflow.
